Hamilton bank robbed at gunpoint

News: National | Crime
Customers at a busy Hamilton Kiwibank were ordered to the floor at gunpoint while the branch was robbed by two men on Saturday.
The men, wearing dark hooded sweatshirts and bandanas around their faces, entered the Chartwell Post Shop about 10.15am, said Detective Chris McRae, of Hamilton CIB.
"One of the pair had a long firearm and held it in people's faces, ordering the 12 or so customers in the store to lie down on the floor." At the same time, his accomplice approached teller staff and ordered them to hand over money from the tills.
The pair then ran off to a waiting car where a third man was their getaway driver, Mr McRae said. The car, a grey 1997 Grey Nissan SRV hatchback, registration BTK243, was stolen from the Hillcrest Warehouse carpark on Friday.
"We're hoping someone recalls seeing it being stolen from the Warehouse or may have seen it driving around or parked up at an address somewhere in the city before the robbery," Mr McRae said.
The car was found a short time after the robbery in nearby Donny Park. Police believe there were four people in the car when it was abandoned, and that they were most likely locals.
Mr McRae said police were concerned about the degree of organisation and violence used in the robbery.

Bank Robbery Up-Dates 12-04-09 1300hr

OPEN LETTER TO NEWS PAPER EDITORS

Always curious how Editors determine what bank robberies to ignore in their reader area and the reason why, bank pressure / bad publicity, City Chamber of Commerce etc. Good example is this incident; no mention of dozen other bank robberies past month in the Agoura area, one example is another BOA 11-23,33929 Valencia Bl., Valencia. Article mimicks BOA scripted Spin on incident; "isolated incident" blah-blah-blah... total falsehood!.
Another current example is 11-25-09 U.S Bank 15910 Ventura Bl. Encino, Take-Over robbery,suspect armed, wearing Halloween mask, gloves, put innocent customers on floor at gun point, jumped teller counter with finger on the trigger and helped himself to all the cash he could carry. Appears on 12-02-09 the SAME suspect,same MO did the SAME thing at Santa Barbara B & T 17656 Ventura Bl. Encino and walked out.
Readers see "Taco Stand Robbed" in banner headlines. Are Banks something sacred and the public shouldn't know about robberies?

Senior executives at Goldman Sachs are so afraid that they could be the targets of a "populist uprising" against banks that they have taken to arming themselves, says an unconfirmed report at Bloomberg News.
Citing only an unnamed "friend" at the New York-based investment bank, columnist Alice Schroeder alleged that "senior Goldman people have loaded up on firearms and are now equipped to defend themselves if there is a populist uprising against the bank."
"They're concerned about social unrest, they're concerned about the fact that we've got a country where a quarter of the kids are on food stamps and they've become a symbol of greed," Schroeder said in an interview at Bloomberg TV.

UPDATE: 4 Walla Walla schools locked down after bank robbery
By Paula Horton, Herald staff writer
Walla Walla Four Walla Walla schools are in temporary lockdown as police search for suspect who robbed the Eastgate branch of the American West Bank this morning.
A lone gunman wearing a ski mask apparently robbed the bank around 10:40 a.m., said Walla Walla police Officer Tim Bennett. No one was hurt.
A witness said the man ran from the bank and may have taken off in a mini van a short distance away.
The suspect vehicle was found in the 600 block of Fern Avenue and officers from Washington State Patrol, the Walla Walla Sheriff’s Office and Walla Walla police have surrounded a house there belonging to the registered owner of the van, Bennett said.
Officers have since surrounded a house in the 600 block of Fern Avenue and have closed Fern Avenue from Whitman south to Pleasant Street.
A suspect matching the description of the robber has been taken into custody and is being interviewed at the police station, Bennett said.
Edison, Berney and Sharpstein elementary schools and Pioneer Middle Schools have been locked down because SWAT officers are making plans to search the house, said Mark Higgins, school district spokesman.
The area is expected to be blocked off for at least two hours.
While officers are in the area, there will be no bus service and support staff members will not be allowed to go to the four schools, Higgins said.
Parents are asked to stay out of the area until the situation is resolved.
If the police activity impacts school dismissal procedures and after school activities, additional information will be released at that time, he said.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - On Monday, November 30, 2009, at approximately 4:46 p.m., deputies with the Lee County Sheriff's Office responded to the Fifth-Third Bank, located at the 13581 Golden Wood Drive, Fort Myers, in reference to an armed robbery of a Brinks’ truck.

When deputies arrived on scene they learned two Brinks’ employees were robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot by two Hispanic male suspects. Due to the nature of the incident, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Robbery Unit assumed the investigation.

Detectives met with the victim and witnesses to the incident. It was determined the suspects removed an undisclosed amount of money from the truck. They then fled the scene in an older model red Grand Prix or Grand-Am.

The suspects are described as having light colored skin, 20s, 5’8-5’10, 160-170lbs, with regular length black hair. They never entered the bank.

During the commission of the crime, one of the suspects struck one of the Brinks’ employees over the head with a firearm. That employee was transported to a local hospital. His condition is unknown at this time. No other injuries occurred during the incident.

By MAUREEN UMEH/myfoxdc
OWINGS, Md. - Calvert County authorities are searching for two masked men who robbed a funeral home and a bank Monday afternoon. The incidents forced the lock down of four schools.
The suspects first robbed the Lee Funeral Home at 8125 Southern Maryland Blvd. in Owings. The business is next to a PNC Bank.
Police believe the thieves may have mistaken the funeral home for the bank. It isn't clear what the robbers got, if anything.
The second robbery was at the SunTrust Bank in Dunkirk. A woman who works next door to the bank says one of the employees appeared to have been injured.
"We saw, I believe one of the managers get into the ambulance," said Mary Kay. "She was holding an ice pack on the back of her head."
Police say at least one shot was fired while the suspects were getting away. No one was injured.
Four schools-- Northern Middle and Northern High Schools, Mt. Harmony and Sunderland Elementary schools-- were put on lockdown.
Dylan Brotherton is an eight grader at Northern Middle. He says, "They shut all the pods down, and they put paper over all the glass windows that you could see outside."
Dylan's twin brother Tyler adds, "Our principal called an announcement and said there was a robber a mile away, everyone had to come inside."
Police searched for the suspects for several hours, but scaled back efforts after it was determined the robbers were no longer in the area. Residents and businesses are being asked to be on the lookout.
"It frightens me," Mary Kay told FOX 5. "It frightens me a lot.”
The suspects got away in a silver car. Detectives are working on releasing surveillance video of the robbery or images that may help catch the suspects.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - A search is on for the would be robber who put a gun to a woman's head on Friday inside a Buffalo bank.
The whole ordeal has left the mother of three shaken and angry at the gunman and bank employees.
It happened suddenly at the Bank of America branch at Main and Fillmore.
A mother of three, who had just made a mortgage payment found herself confronted by a gunman and two others.
She talked with News 4 about the ordeal.
"They put the gun to my head and they said they were gonna kill me if they didn't give them any money," she exclaimed.
She told News 4 the bank employees did not respond.
"The bank tellers, I don't know if they hid under the registers or they went behind them, but they left. They left me standing there with a gun to my head and I feel that they jeopardized my life," she also explained.
She also said there was no security guard on duty and that she began having an asthma attack.
The three masked men, she said, realizing they weren't going to get anything, fled on foot.
Her father explained, "I'm very angry with the bank, the way they treated her when the robbery occurred. So I'm very angry at them."
"All the tellers ran, and she was left there. They (the robbers) pushed her out the way and she started having an attack," the victim's sister said.
Her mother remarked, "When I got there, she was in the paramedics truck. They were giving her oxygen because she has asthma really bad."
No one from the bank would talk.
Other banks in our area have recently been hit the same way, by three men wearing masks.
Buffalo Police believe this robbery attempt may be related to at least two recent bank robberies in the area.
Buffalo Police Spokesman, Mike DeGeorge said, "The one that occurred recently in Cheektowaga and that I think the one that occurred on the Key bank on Bailey Avenue, a few weeks back."
Buffalo Police did find what they believe to be a stolen car near the Bank of America branch, a car which may be related to the most recent incident.
The Bank of America will not comment on the victim's concerns because of the on going investigation, but a spokesman told News 4 that there are security measures in place....... AS IS THE AMERICAN FLAG SOME PLACE IN THE WORLD.
YOU EVER WONDER HOW MUCH SECURITY IS IN PLACE 24-7 TO PROTECT BOA EXECUTIVES AT THEIR CORPORATE OFFICES AND HOW MANY ACTUALLY SET FOOT IN THEIR OWN BANK?.
